We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Dronfield Woodhouse

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Sheffield, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

When to call us in Dronfield Woodhouse

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically along the edges or by the waste.

Look out for these signs:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Comparing quotes

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dronfield Woodhouse

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
